More recently, Armenia has become famous for the site of the oldest leather shoe and the oldest winery discovered in the world, a cave known as Areni-1.

Furthermore, it seems the Armenian highlands and Georgia contain sites which hold the oldest evidence of humans leaving Africa, and also sites where Homo sapiens interacted with Neanderthals.

A Cambridge Science Festival archaeology panel, titled “More than Bones,” at Harvard University’s Science Center on September 23, addressed these topics and more, while Areni-1 was discussed a second time at greater length at a September 26 lecture titled “Treasures of Areni-1 Cave,” at the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) building in nearby Belmont.
